a workaround for now would be to provide your own dotenv alias
we have it aliased in the webpack config, but for some reason, which Jarrod and I are working on now, the dotenv alias within the
bundler-webpackpackage itself is not working
so if you alias it yourself, in the meantime, it will work
@jarrod_not_jared can you point to the ecommerce example?
fyi the reason I need to reference dotenv myself is

This is the current workaround:
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/templates/ecommerce/src/payload/payload.config.ts#L62hey @tyteen4a03 we updated the webpack bundler so if u update, you should be good now
Yep, works now!
